As you probably know, compiled output of JBuilder is platform
independent. When you develop in Java, you are developing for Windows
CE 2.0 and HP-UX 10.20 and Windows 95 and Sun workstations all at the
same time. Use the deployment wizard and you can distribute it across
any platform.
The problem, of course, is finding a Java Virtual Machine written
for various platforms that is compatible with the version of Java the
JBuilder produces. The question is not whether or not you can develop
for a specific platform, but rather, whether or not somebody wrote a
JVM for the platform upon which you intend to run your application.
I know that today in Yahoo!, they had a story about HP developing
its own version of Java (OH NO!), and Microsoft using their product
for Windows CE (OH NO!):

Needless to say, disintegrating Java in this manner destroys its
very most important feature -- 100% compatibility with any platform.
I despise companies like Microsoft and now HP that is trying to
destroy the language.
